Gun-Ay Hotel

鬧中取靜的地方

This hotel is very clean & run by a lovely family. English is VERY limited. Pool area looks lovely & modern, but the bed & bathrooms are VERY basic & dated. Lobby is a very disappointing area. Lots of steps. No lift. Nice air conditioner. Very little room to put clothes away. Fridge in room. Kettle for tea. Breakfast was extremely disappointing - a few fruits & veg, olives, a few cheeses & 1 meat. Cereals & breads. Tea & coffee. 8:30-10:30 daily. Most mornings when I got there the plates were empty. See photos. You can walk down the hill to the beach (we were not impressed with the beach & restaurants in this area -all of them looked very dingy & dirty) You can walk the other way from the hotel into town which is a max 10 min walk & find a few shops & great restaurants there. We noticed alot of the restaurants would sweep & keep clean their particular frontage (thankfully) which motivated us to want to eat there. One restaurant in particular we saw doing that was Casablanca. Delicious Food & great service & super clean. Sadly we were very disappointed with Bodrum - as there’s a lot of rubbish/trash on the streets & on vacant areas. Compared only to Fethiye & Antalya which we had only previously been we were always very impressed with how super clean the streets we experienced there. Location of this hotel is pretty good although it is down a lane, so hotel may be a bit hard to find initially. (No surprise the lane has trash all down it - If this were the only access to my hotel I’d be outside cleaning it all up). We got to thinking perhaps it’s the lack of love & care for their beautiful surroundings that Bodrum is obviously on a decline… Fethiye was packed out this time last summer we were so surprised at how empty the restaurants were here in Bodrum in mid summer. These restaurant, shop & hotel owners surely must realise most people don’t want to be around rubbish & filth.
